Hellobee Boards

She was exactly 7.5lbs but born at 38w1d so I guess bigger than average?

@Mrs. Bee: They are twins which tend to be a little smaller. Both DH and I are small people too, so we aren't sure if I just make small babies or if something started to go wrong. DS who was 4 lb 15 oz had a pretty small placenta so we're not sure if the placentas just started to fail (can be common for twins, as well).

41w and 6 lbs 10 oz

I voted bigger. E was 8lb 12oz at just about 40wks. He was big enough that the doctors at the hospital were concerned about his blood sugar and kept pricking his foot to test it

I'm fairly petite (D is tall), and I got a lot of double takes from the staff...like "*you* pushed him out vaginally??" and I still get a lot of comments now about how he must take after his dad (he's 3 and taller than my belly button).

Much smaller than average - DD1 was 5 lbs 11 oz at 37+1, DD2 was 5 lbs 14 oz at 39 exactly. DH and I are both smaller people, but were pretty surprised our babies were so little - we were expecting near average.

Smaller....my twins were born at 36 weeks & were 4lb 14oz & 4lb 11oz

My daughter was born at exactly 41 weeks and weighed 8 lb 1 oz, my birth weight as well!

Both were smaller.
DD1- 6 lbs 15 oz born at 38 weeks.
DD2- 7 lbs 2 oz born at 40 weeks

Born a day shy of 41 weeks, 7 lbs, 10 oz.

Twins were smaller at a lil over 6, my third was bigger at 7 10.

Larger at 39weeks 5 days, he was 9lbs.

I thought average was 8 lb, 1 oz!

I put average.
DD was 7lb 1oz at 40+1
DS was 6lb 8oz at 38

Smaller. He was just 6 lbs, 2 oz at 41 weeks!

Average. 7.5 lb at 39w3d

Bigger than average, 41 weeks

DS was born at 34 weeks and weighed almost 5 lbs.
DD was born at 37 weeks and weighed 5.5 lbs.

Bigger than average - 8lbs 5oz at 41+1
